It was two degrees this morning when I left Poca, West Virginia, for work at six. But that was not as cold as I felt after reading this at noon on the Fox News site: Tom Hanks Says Mormon Supporters of Proposition 8 Un-American.
Now I am willing to sacrifice my life, if necessary, to defend his right to spew whatever vile, hateful, ignorant, demented, loathsome, ugly and foolish remarks he may make.
But I also reserve my right to call his remarks vile, hateful, ignorant, demented, loathsome, ugly and foolish.
Readers can decide for themselves whether what he said is vile, hateful, ignorant, demented, loathsome, ugly and foolish.
In promoting a news series on HBO, Hanks said:
The truth is this [his series] takes place in Utah, the truth is these people are some bizarre offshoot of the Mormon Church, and the truth is a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop 8 happen. There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American and I am one of them. I do not like to see any discrimination codified on any piece of paper, any of the 50 states in America, but heres what happens now. A little bit of light can be shed and people can see whos responsible and that can motivate the next go around of our self correcting constitution and hopefully we can move forward instead of backwards. So lets have faith in not only the American, but Californian constitutional process.
Excuse me, who died and put Tom Hanks in charge of deciding who is American and who is un-American?
Is he like a one-man Ellis Island who determines who can stay in this country?

Another Hollywood star I won’t pay money to see. In fact, I wouldn’t even download a free, pirated copy of this dimwits movies.
BTW, whatever happened to Tim Robbins and Susan Sarrandon (sp?)...they don't act AND we never hear a peep out of them any more. heh heh heh
I’m surprised Hanks had time to address this, he’s been so busy insulting Catholics.
What do you expect from a man whose best friend is a volleyball?
He donated the maximum amount to al-Franken’s campaign. This doesn’t suprise me.
Tom, you missed the memo that you are not a person of significance. YOU are un-American. And an idiot. Ripping on 52% of CA voters who VOTED to enact a lawful change to their state Constitution, after twice before voting overwhelmingly for the same thing onyl to have liberal judges shoot it down.
Sit down you arrogant, ignorant fool.
Because he deicded to make the shift a long time ago from just a ‘celebrity’ to celebutard, or synonymously, ‘celebucrat’.
LOL
” So lets have faith in not only the American, but Californian constitutional process.
Isn’t that what Prop 8 was about? Letting voters decide in a constitutional way?
The minute I heard about this episode...I was thinking Joe McCarthy. I guess while Tom is out at....he might as well admit that the gay-marriage supporters are un-American as well....but he’s too big an idiot to say something like that.

I think I've watched that movie about 800 times.
He just got Southern Baptists to appreciate the Mormon way of thinking.
And vice versa.
Thanks Gump!
And it never gets old.
The Burbs is probably the best movie ever made.
The Longshot (with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman) is the second best.
Hey, Hanks, you SUCK!
As an incidental, and to test this principle against true historical discrimination, a black man marrying a white woman, and contrarily, a white man marrying a black woman, does not violate the terms of this principle, therefore denying such is indeed discrimination.
However, if we now input a man marrying a man, or a woman marrying a woman, we find that it does violate the terms of the principle, since this type of marriage is a union of similar units, therefore, denying such can not logically be considered discrimination. Additionally, since the qualifying units are similar, then the quantity inferred here is variable, meaning that polygamy is a logical consequence.
Ironically, "these people" that Hanks so boldly maligns actually practiced, almost a century before he was born, a logical extension of what he advocates.
He's just another dumb ass in Hollywood, and across this country, who doesn't have a clue what the hell they're talking about, yet like to hear themselves speak nonetheless.
Here's some advice for Mr. Hanks. If it's not enumerated in your "self correcting constitution" (whatever that means) then it is subject to the very same democratic process that you have just publicly criticized, denied, and seek to usurp coercively
Who's un-American now...
